Reading— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and grammatically correct. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers, correct verb tenses and singular/plural agreement, and limit to 2–4 sentences. Add one specific example to support your statement.

Ejemplo: Yes, I enjoy reading. For example, when I was a child I often borrowed books from the school library to read over the weekend, which helped me become an avid reader.

Sugerencia: Use present tense consistently and correct small errors. Link ideas clearly and be specific about reasons. Reduce redundancy and avoid awkward phrases like 'living on screen.'

Ejemplo: I prefer reading on paper because I enjoy the tactile feel of turning real pages. Also, I can easily highlight and add bookmarks, which makes studying and reviewing much simpler than reading on a screen.

Sugerencia: Be direct and avoid repetition. Use contrasting linking words (e.g., 'However' or 'But') and correct phrasing (e.g., 'I don't need to be as careful'). Provide a brief reason in each case.

Ejemplo: I need to read carefully when studying assigned textbooks because I must understand details for exams. However, when I read for pleasure I don't need to be as careful and focus more on enjoying the story.

Sugerencia: Clarify awkward phrases and improve vocabulary choice (e.g., 'understand the ideas fully'). Keep sentences natural and connect contrasting ideas with 'however' as you did. Give a concise reason for each preference.

Ejemplo: I usually prefer detailed reading because I like to understand the ideas fully and appreciate the author's style. However, if I'm short on time I skim to extract the main points quickly.

× Yes, I enjoy reading, especially, uh, when I was a kid I often went to school library, borrow some book for the weekend and I So I would say I've been avid readers since I was little.

✓ Yes, I enjoy reading. Especially when I was a kid, I often went to the school library and borrowed some books for the weekend, so I would say I've been an avid reader since I was little.

Multiple past-tense verbs and agreement were incorrect. Use past tense 'borrowed' to match 'went', plural 'books' for generality, add article 'the' before 'school library', and correct 'readers' to singular 'reader' to agree with 'I'. Also split into clearer sentences. Suggestion: Keep past actions in past tense and ensure subject-verb and number agreement.

× I preferred it on paper since I can't feel tactile pages.

✓ I prefer it on paper because I can feel the tactile pages.

The student used past tense 'preferred' but is stating a general present preference; use present simple 'prefer'. Also use 'because' for reason and include definite article 'the' before 'tactile pages'. Suggestion: Use present simple for habitual or general preferences.

× I can turn on actual pages and can bookmark with highlighters, and I think this is a definitely different experience than living on screen.

✓ I can turn actual pages and mark them with highlighters, and I think this is definitely a different experience than living on a screen.

Remove incorrect 'turn on' (use 'turn'), use 'mark' instead of 'bookmark with highlighters' for clarity, place 'definitely' correctly, and add article 'a' before 'screen' for natural expression. Suggestion: Use precise verbs ('turn', 'mark') and include articles where needed.

× For example, when I have to read assigned books for school courses, I would say I need to read carefully.

✓ For example, when I have to read assigned books for school courses, I need to read carefully.

Conditional modal 'would say' is unnecessary in this general statement; use present simple 'need' to indicate a habitual requirement. Keep tense consistent. Suggestion: Use simple present for habitual actions or general truths.

× But when I read books just for my pleasure, pleasure, I think I don't have to be more be so much careful.

✓ But when I read books just for pleasure, I think I don't have to be so careful.

Remove duplicated 'pleasure', delete extra 'be', and reposition 'so' before 'careful'. Use the adjective 'careful' without extra verbs. The phrase 'for pleasure' is correct without 'my'. Suggestion: Avoid repetition and extra auxiliary verbs; use concise adjective phrases.

× I usually prefer to take my time and try to grasp every detail of a book because I enjoy understanding the idea free.

✓ I usually prefer to take my time and try to grasp every detail of a book because I enjoy understanding the ideas fully.

The phrase 'understanding the idea free' is ungrammatical. Use plural 'ideas' (general) and adverb 'fully' to express complete understanding. This fixes sentence structure and word choice. Suggestion: Use appropriate nouns ('ideas') and adverbs ('fully') to convey meaning clearly.

× However, when I'm under time pressure, I skim the text to get the main points quickly.

✓ However, when I'm under time pressure, I skim texts to get the main points quickly.

Prefer plural 'texts' for general habit, though the original is acceptable; this aligns with general statements about reading. Tense and structure are otherwise correct. Suggestion: Use plural nouns for general habits when appropriate.
